      My mother in law had her "sweet cat" eat a bite out of her shin....My best friend had cat repeatedly attack her with mouth and claws while she cleaned her owners house. It is not the cat, it is the parasite in the cat. wonder if everyone was tested, how many are infected. some documentairies say up to 2/3 of people are infected with the cat parasite. what research do you have. please share. and as a nurse, in nursing school they said people would be found in thier homes, where the cat had eaten thier eyes....you get more info when your in the medical school

    Not the cats fault by any means, but my parents were kinda gross and neglectful, so I up grew up probably swimming in this bacteria. I was surrounded by cats, chickens, and wild rodents, and I used to step through cat feces, chicken feces, and occasionally rat droppings. Every day. And I ate eggs from chickens that had been eating the cats shit, I ate chicken shit once by accident, and a few times I had to resort to eating roadkill because I was so hungry.
    If anyone has this parasite, it's probably me LOL. But it's never made me sick, and I hate children so wouldn't ever want to have one anyway. So it really doesn't bother me.
    Sometimes I'm surprised at how resilient my body is though. Through all of that, and eating raw meat constantly, I was fine. Since growing up I've realized that most people don't live like that, and that most people would die from consuming the things I ate on a daily basis.
    So in that sense, I'm kinda proud! Indestructible immune system lol
    I do really like cats, I feel a sort of bond with them like I can almost tell what they're thinking. But I'm honestly even more bonded to wolves, and some dogs. Cats are cool, but I'm not like crazy about them. I just think they're cute and mystical little beings. But I'm not like obsessed with them.

      He was a child treated hatefully by his parents. They didn't consider how his upbringing was harming him. If they did, they changed nothing. He hates children because he's jealous they get to have a better childhood than he did. To whom much is given, much is expected. He wasn't given much. In his mind he has a deficit that hasn't been paid back since his childhood. He can't bear the responsibility of children. It's a sacrifice for people who've had better lives. I don't subscribe to that perspective, but I understand where it's coming from.
